While the religious turn to God as solace during bad times, I feel that the best thing we can do is be a witness to the bad times, as a community.
We witness the value of the people affected, and we can chose to be an agent of change. We can honor the dead. We can work toward a better future.
I don't need an Archbishop to give me a narrative.

"Nothing of significance has changed since Trump left office, apart from the narratives about how much things have changed.
The wars are still going. Washington is still the hub of an oligarchic globe-spanning empire. Americans are still being impoverished and propagandized into political impotence by an unfathomably wealthy plutocracy. Sanctions are still squeezing people to death in Venezuela, Syria, Iran and North Korea. The world's worst mass atrocity is still continuing in Yemen. The kids are still in cages. Authoritarian creep continues to metastasize. All the old abuses roll on completely uninterrupted, along the same trajectories they were on before."
Mr. Biden has been in office for 69 days. Mr. Trump was in office for 1461 days.
Caitlin Johnstone can bite me bony white leftist bum. For her to expect Biden to have completely fixed the entire planet in just over two months is nothing short the of most crass stupidity imaginable.

There's no longer a white supremacist in the whitehouse. That's a change that people might feel relieved about, seems significant.
